What was your last CD4 count?

Edmore, MI

Some countries no longer tell you what your CD4 count is if you are undetectable.
If you live in a country that still tells you your CD4 count, what was your last number?

Members responded openly to the question about CD4 counts, sharing a wide range of numbers from as low as 21 to over 2000, with many noting how far their counts had climbed since diagnosis. Several members shared that being undetectable is what their doctors focus on most, with some noting that CD4 counts are no longer routinely checked in their countries once viral load is undetectable. A recurring theme was encouragement and resilience, with many members reminding each other that progress over time matters more than any single number.

My latest CD4 count was 224. The highest it has been was 365. I remain undetectable, and have been so for 5 years. What my ID doctor watches is the percentage of CD counts that are CD4. It stays stable around 23-25%.

Yeah my doctor talks more about my vital load. She says my viral load is what to be expected with HIV patience's. I'm still learning about this. Just over a month since being diagnosed.
